My background
Since 2017 I have drawn on my own personal experience and training to support those I work with. My own journey through life has brought me to this point where I am able to use my life experience to help others. I am a mental health and wellbeing campaigner, am an advocate for mental fitness and living a balanced life. If you or someone you know is struggling with poor mental health, wellbeing or addiction issues please don’t hesitate to reach out.
I trained at Richmond College and the National Centre for Eating Disorders and am strongly informed by 12 step philosophy. My focus is helping clients to look after their mental, physical, spiritual and emotional health, to find meaning and thrive in life. I have a holistic view of mental health and wellbeing. I work collaboratively with my clients using both counselling and coaching skills to help promote positive, lasting change. My approach could be described as pluralistic using a number of different therapeutic models to best suit each clients needs in an integrative manner. These models include ACT, CBT, DBT, Psychodynamic therapy, Transactional Analysis & inner child work, Person Centred therapy, Humanistic therapy, Motivational interviewing and positive psychology to name a few. In a corporate setting I work with leaders and teams alike helping organisations develop a culture of wellbeing, vulnerability, productivity, creativity and innovation.
